Mclaughlin Speaks for Labor.

The session of the House at the State
Capitol, Tuesday morning, was enIiven-
ed by spirited discussion of HothersaII's
bill to regulate the employment of la
bOrers in manufacturing and repair shops
and TO abolish the system of blackIistine.
When the bill came up on first reading,
Mr.. Hickman, of Bradford, moved to
have it recOmmitled, which called for
defense of the bill from Mr.. Hotherstan
and plea for it's immediate passage. A
correspondent of the PittsbuIg Dispatch
thus describes our Representative 8
speech:
"Mr. Mclaughlin. of Cambria, arose
on the Democratic side. ard advocated
the bill in an eloquent address. He
wondered that the Infamous, rascauy
system of blackiisting had not been
abolished 25 years ago-a system that
makes slaves of American citizens, com
pels them to give up their manhood and
90 down on their knees to their employ
ers. y poor wOTkiugman, blacklisted
For some petty Offense, might wander
north, south, east OF west in search of
employment, but everywhere he would
be refused because he was blacklisted.
Mr.. Mclaughlin branded this as an iu-
famous conspiracy on the part of en-
ployers, and pictured the prosecuted
laboreT in his wanderings, the despair of
his situation, and his final return to his
old employer. where he would have to
go down on his knees, renounce his man
hood forever, promise to do anything
asked of him. and accept any compensa.
tiun that might be offered him for re-
employment. During the delivery of
| this address, the old gentleman several
/ times brought his shriveled hand down
| upon his desk to emphasize his remarks.
1.-The bill was amended to include mi
ming. Then the provision for closing
| works at a stated hour was amended tC
permit over time with extra compensa.
| tioh, and then to fix the rate of such
/ compensation. Finally Mr.. HotheTsall.
| the author of the bill, asked to have il
! recommitted, which was agreed tC, after
which the House adjourned.
"This was the first passage at arms on
a labor question, and the interest taken
I ~ the measure indicates that measures
for the relief of labor will take promi-
nent position in this Legislature. There
are great many members who have
been elected as labor candidates, and
they, show a disposition TO redeem theil
campaign pledges. Next to the legisla
tion pledged by the party platform, labor
| Will take precedence"

Prohibition Proposed.

The Republican caucus at Harrisburg
on Tuesday evening decided on a resOlu-
ton. to be presented to the Legislators.
for their action, which, IL redemption
of their party pledges, is to be placed
before the people, as purely prohiHitory
amendment to the Constitution. A
compensatory clause was suggested but
not passed with much animation except
by few of the members. who were par
TALLY conciliated by Senator Rutan
stating he would offer a reimbursement
clause in the Senate. 1t is evident from
the discussion IN the caucus meeting
that the Immaculate Republicans are by
no means a unit on the question of Pro-
hibition, but. as Mr.. Delamater, os
Crawford, said, it was not a question of
Prohibition OF compensation, but wheth-
er the Republican party should keep
faith with the people. Mr.. Kaufman,
Of Lancaster, also declared that thou
sands OF Republicans of his county, WHO
voted for Governor Beaver, would never
vote the Republican ticket again if Pro
people. The Prohibition plank in the
Republican platform was obviously
placed there for the purpose of catching
votes, but even though its presence there
lacked the ring of sincerity, it would be
most suicidal policy for the party rep
resentatives to disregard it. The reso
luton will no doIbt be exposed to many
chickering's and crossfres in running the
gauntlet of both Houses, but 1t will
likely emerge in some shape for tht
voice of the people to decide its fate.
The text of the proposed amendment
is as follows

of Representatives, Of the commonwealth
of Pennsylvania in General Assembly

THE United States Senate on Monday
considered and passed the Senate bill
authorizing the President of the United
States to protect and defend the rights
of American fishing vessels, American
fishermen and American trading and
other vessels, in certain cases, and for
other purposes. The bill was presented
by Senator Edmunds, as noted in last
weeks FREEMAN, as a retaliatory
measure on Canada indirectly reflect
ing on England-for the treatment
American fishermen have received in
Canadian waters, in violation of the
treaty of 1918. The intent Of the bill
was not to stir up strife with Great
Britain end the Dominion of Canada but
simply the maintenance of our rights as
a nation. The discussion was animated
and one might almost imagine the man
tie of warlike Sparta had fallen on the
shoulders of our grave Senators as they
waxed eloquent in their denunciations
OF England's wrongs and aggressions,
and seemed to eagerly sniff the smoke
of battle from afar-happily it is from
afar

The members of the committee ap-
pointed by the Republican Legislative
caucus at Harrisburg TO prepare a pro-
hibitory amendment to be submitted to
the Legislature for action at the present
session, must have heard from their
temperance constituents. The draft of
the proposed amendment agreed upon
totally ignores the subject of compensa-
tion. and presents the question of abso-
lutte prohibition in its naked form. The
plain English of this significant action
is, that the temperance Republicans
have notified their Representatives that
there must be no monkeying with the
compensation buzz saw if they are to be
expected to vote the Republican ticket
in utuTe.-PbiId. Times.
